摘 要:Compared with temperate ecosystems, tropical ecosystems will respond differently to increasing nitrogen (N) deposition due to indirect effects on the availability of phosphorus (P). Data in this study
were collected from the long-term research plots and controlled experiments in a succession series,including 50-year-old pine forest (PF), 80-year-old mixed pine and broadleaved forest (MF), and more
than 400-year-old monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest (MEBF), in southern China to study growth patterns and biogeochemical processes. The results showed that soil total N and available N were
significantly higher in MEBF than in the other two forests. Soil available P was significantly lower in MEBF than in PF though the total P was the same. The N/P ratios in living leaves were increasing with succession stages. The standing biomass and productivity of MEBF have been declining over the last 30 years. Our findings suggest that the high N stock in soil pools through atmospheric deposition and selfaccumulation in MEBF would require more available P to prevent deficiency that would limit plant growth. However, as more organic matter accumulated and thus, more P was bound in MEBF, there was much less available P in soils. These processes result in significantly higher N/P ratios in living leaves of the old-growth forest, which may be responsible for the decline. |
